Composers like Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff were most interested in the emotions of storytelling, which compelled them to use the orchestra in unique and colorful ways. A free-wheeling spirit is sure to stir the listener’s imagination as two-time GRAMMY nominee Jennifer Frautschi joins the Symphony on violin to perform Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto.
